By default the sve bits are not set.
This patch adds a new hypercall, xc_altp2m_set_supress_ve_multi(),
to set a range of sve bits.
The core function, p2m_set_suppress_ve_multi(), does not break in case
of a error and it is doing a best effort for setting the bits in the
given range. A check for continuation is made in order to have
preemption on large ranges.
The gfn of the first error is stored in
xen_hvm_altp2m_suppress_ve_multi.first_error_gfn and the error code is
stored in xen_hvm_altp2m_suppress_ve_multi.first_error.
If no error occurred the values will be 0.

Extend the livepatch list operation to fetch also payloads' metadata.
This is achieved by extending the sysctl list interface with 2 extra
guest handles:
* metadata - an array of arbitrary size strings
* metadata_len - an array of metadata strings' lengths (uin32_t each)
Payloads' metadata is a string of arbitrary size and does not have an
upper bound limit. It may also vary in size between payloads.
In order to let the userland allocate enough space for the incoming
data add a metadata total size field to the list sysctl operation and
fill it with total size of all payloads' metadata.
Extend the libxc to handle the metadata back-to-back data transfers
as well as metadata length array data transfers.
The xen-livepatch userland tool is extended to always display the
metadata for each received module. The metadata is received with the
following format: key=value\0key=value\0...key=value\0. The format is
modified to the following one: key=value;key=value;...key=value.
The new format allows to easily parse the metadata for a given module
by a machine.

The payloads' name strings can be of arbitrary size (typically small
with an upper bound of XEN_LIVEPATCH_NAME_SIZE).
Current implementation of the list operation interface allows to copy
names in the XEN_LIVEPATCH_NAME_SIZE chunks regardless of its actual
size and enforces space allocation requirements on userland tools.
To unify and simplify the interface, handle the name strings of
arbitrary size by copying them in adhering chunks to the userland.
In order to let the userland allocate enough space for the incoming
data add an auxiliary interface xc_livepatch_list_get_sizes() that
provides the current number of payload entries and the total size of
all name strings. This is achieved by extending the sysctl list
interface with an extra fields: name_total_size.
The xc_livepatch_list_get_sizes() issues the livepatch sysctl list
operation with the nr field set to 0. In this mode the operation
returns the number of payload entries and calculates the total sizes
for all payloads' names.
When the sysctl operation is issued with a non-zero nr field (for
instance with a value obtained earlier with the prior call to the
xc_livepatch_list_get_sizes()) the new field name_total_size provides
the total size of actually copied data.
Extend the libxc to handle the name back-to-back data transfers.
The xen-livepatch tool is modified to start the list operation with a
call to the xc_livepatch_list_get_sizes() to obtain the actual number
of payloads as well as the necessary space for names.
The tool now always requests the actual number of entries and leaves
the preemption handling to the libxc routine. The libxc still returns
'done' and 'left' parameters with the same semantic allowing the tool
to detect anomalies and react to them. At the moment it is expected
that the tool receives the exact number of entries as requested.
The xen-livepatch tool has been also modified to handle the name
back-to-back transfers correctly.

By default Livepatch enforces the following buildid-based dependency
chain between livepatch modules:
1) first module depends on given hypervisor buildid
2) every consecutive module depends on previous module's buildid
This way proper livepatch stack order is maintained and enforced.
While it is important for production livepatches it limits agility and
blocks usage of testing or debug livepatches. These kinds of livepatch
modules are typically expected to be loaded at any time irrespective
of current state of the modules stack.
To enable testing and debug livepatches allow user dynamically ignore
the inter-modules dependency. In this case only hypervisor buildid
match is verified and enforced.
To allow userland pass additional paremeters for livepatch actions
add support for action flags.
Each of the apply, revert, unload and revert action gets additional
32-bit parameter 'flags' where extra flags can be applied in a mask
form.
Initially only one flag '--nodeps' is added for the apply action.
This flag modifies the default buildid dependency check as described
above.
The global sysctl interface input flag parameter is defined with a
single corresponding flag macro:
LIVEPATCH_ACTION_APPLY_NODEPS (1 << 0)
The userland xen-livepatch tool is modified to support the '--nodeps'
flag for apply and load commands. A general mechanism for specifying
more flags in the future for apply and other action is however added.

This patch implements generic get value interfaces in libxc and libxl.
It also refactors the get value flow in xl to make it be suitable for all
allocation features. Based on that, a new MBA get value command is added in xl.

This patch implements a new libxc get hw info interface and corresponding
data structures. It also changes libxl_psr.c to call this new interface.

This patch adds the old value param and the onchangeonly option
to the VM_EVENT_REASON_MOV_TO_MSR event.
The param was added to the vm_event_mov_to_msr struct and to the
hvm_monitor_msr function. Finally I've changed the bool_t param
to a bool for the hvm_msr_write_intercept function.

Mixed throughout libxc are uint32_t, int, and domid_t for domid parameters.
With a signed type, and an explicitly 16-bit type, it is exceedingly difficult
to construct an INVALID_DOMID constant which works with all of them. (The
main problem being that domid_t gets unconditionally zero extended when
promoted to int for arithmatic.)
Libxl uses uint32_t consistently everywhere, so alter libxc to match.

Add a new domctl API to initialize vpl011. It takes the GFN and console
backend domid as input and returns an event channel to be used for
sending and receiving events from Xen.
Xen will communicate with xenconsole using GFN as the ring buffer and
the event channel to transmit and receive pl011 data on the guest domain's
behalf.

If case of a vm_event with the emulate_flags set, if the instruction
is not implemented by the emulator, the monitor should be notified instead
of directly injecting a hw exception.
This behavior can be used to re-execute an instruction not supported by
the emulator using the real processor (e.g. altp2m) instead of just
crashing.

In some introspection usecases, an in-guest agent needs to communicate
with the external introspection agent. An existing mechanism is
HVMOP_guest_request_vm_event, but this is restricted to kernel usecases
like all other hypercalls.
Introduce a mechanism whereby the introspection agent can whitelist the
use of HVMOP_guest_request_vm_event directly from userspace.
